Replicated field experiment in F.R.B.D. was conducted during kharif 2002 to study the effect of soil and foliar application of nitrogen (N) at flowering in addition to basal N dose on nodulation, growth & seed protein content in soyabean. Plant height was significantly increased due to N application. While nodulation was significantly decreased with increased doseof N. Maximum seed protein content (%) was recorded by application of 45 kg. + 30 kg. N ha-1 at 40 D.A.S. Significantly increased and highest dry weight along with maximum Relative Growth Rate (RGR) was observed by 45 kg. N ha-1 (basal dose). Where as, significant varietal differenceswere also noted in respect of Leaf Area Index (LAI), Leaf Area Ratio (LAR) and Net Assimilation Rate (NAR).

Plant height was significantly increased due to N application. While nodulation was significantly decreased with increased doseof N. Maximum seed protein content (%) was recorded by application of 45 kg. + 30 kg. N ha-1 at 40 D.A.S. Significantly increased and highest dry weight along with maximum Relative Growth Rate (RGR) was observed by 45 kg. N ha-1 (basal dose). Where as, significant varietal differenceswere also noted in respect of Leaf Area Index (LAI), Leaf Area Ratio (LAR) and Net Assimilation Rate (NAR).
